Mr.CC's Farmhouse Table
Next month we will celebrate 14 years in our home...it's really hard to believe it's been that long. When you bought our house, we also bought a few pieces of furniture from the owners...but their farmhouse table was not for sale. Mr.CC tried to talk the owners into selling it to him, but his charm did not work this time. Their table was sooooo COOL and fit perfect in the space...so what was he to do? To answer that...he decided to do a DIY! He has a friend who's family has a lot of land out in the country and they had an old house with some awesome wood that they offered to him, and he quickly accepted. The wood was heart pine and fourteen inches wide...he was so in love with them. This was his first real DIY furniture project and I think he did an outstanding job with the table...fourteen years later and I'm still lovin' it. I could not imagine replacing it...it holds so many wonderful memories of our family...I know it's just a table, but it's so very SPECIAL to me!

Your table is gorgeous. What a wonderful job your DH did. I love the worm holes too, I think distressed furniture has more character than any others. Great table. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love your table and your tall vases! I have one of those vases and love it. Had two but broke one! I just tables like this. My grandfather built me a table for my dining room about 16 years ago and we love it! Be blessed and thanks for sharing. Cindy
ReplyDeleteYour table is beautiful and I love the bright window toppers...that fabric is delightful!

Wow, his first DIY furniture project, he did a great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome husband! It is a beautiful table, I can see why you're so in love with it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for finding me on the UBP 2010!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures of your home. Honestly, I'm finding myself quite envious... although I have never been to Alabama. ; )

That is a GORGEOUS table and he did a fabulous job. I know you have many wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteFurniture is so much more beautiful when it has a story attached. Love your farmhouse table!
ReplyDeleteTracey
I just love that your husband made it! That will be a piece to hand down in your family - how great is that!

I would love a big farmhouse table in my dining room. I need to seat 12, and I love the charm and durability. Lucky you! Linda
ReplyDeleteBee-You-Tee-Full! I loooove your table! What a great job!
ReplyDeleteHi, Linda! That is really beautiful! He did such a nice job on the finish. My hubby has refinished some pieces, and made some bookcases for us, but no tables. I suspect when all the birdies leave the nest, we will be in the market for some new treasures. He's promised so much of his handiwork to the girls.
ReplyDeleteMary Lou
I love farm tables, and yours is even more special because of the work hubby went to.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for visiting my bog. I enjoyed meeting you thru your blog. It was fun to see your shopping finds. I like the oven dish. And how GREAT to find your kitchen backsplash while your husband was with you. (So he could help carry them;)
ReplyDeleteThat is one gorgeous table, and Mr. CC should be very proud of himself! I'm sure it's destined to be a family heirloom, passed down through the generations!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!

ReplyDeleteYou must be very proud of Mr CC it is absolutely wonderful...
ReplyDeleteThat table is divine and he did a fabulous job of carpentry. Love the holes and nicks in it for the added character.
ReplyDeleteI love your table, I have always wanted an old farm table, yours is really lovely. Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteOh wow what a gorgeous table! I can only *dream* of having a handy hubby. He can fix electrical stuff, but give him a saw and hammer and he's clueless! You are blessed, treasure it! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous table.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- How lucky to have such a talented husband.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI love your long farm table. Enough room for everyone! One of my favorite things is a farm table I found in an old abandoned cabin. It's very rustic with mismatched paint and legs. My husband always asks if I'll ever refinish it. Silly husband!

Gorgeous table! We finally got a "farmhouse" table... although I'll admit it was not a true antique, just a repro.. but I figure we'll be the ones who use it till it becomes an antique.
